Stem Cells Delivered Intranasally Can Bypass the Blood-Brain Barrier to Treat Brain Disorders

By Leave a Comment

In recent groundbreaking research, Dr. William H. Frey II (Director, Alzheimer’s Research Center) and Dr. Lusine Danielyan announced that they have discovered and patented that therapeutic cells, including adult stem cells, can be delivered to the brain using a noninvasive intranasal delivery method.

This non-invasive intranasal method for bypassing the blood-brain barrier can rapidly delivery and target therapeutic agents to the brain along the olfactory and trigeminal neural pathways while reducing systemic exposure and side effects. The intranasal insulin treatment discovered by Dr. Frey for Alzheimer’s disease has been shown in multiple clinical trials to improve memory in both Alzheimer’s patients and normal adults.

This was a major year for stem cells, as we saw the first ever induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) trial in humans, as well as several large mergers and acquisitions within the stem cell industry. One of the most prominent was the buyout of Life Technologies by industry behemoth Thermo Fisher Scientific.

There were also major technical advances that occurred, including notable advances made by scientists at the Harvard Stem Cell Institute (HSCI) toward the creation of human insulin-producing cells from human embryonic stem cells, as well as advances in the bio-fabrication of human tissues using 3-D cell printing technology, led by Guohao Dai of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, among others.
